BYU Rout Marks Kansas' Worst Loss Under Bill Self

In a stunning upset, BYU defeated No. 23 Kansas 91-57, marking the Jayhawks' largest loss in the Bill Self era and the worst defeat for Kansas as a ranked team against an unranked opponent. Richie Saunders led BYU with 22 points, supported by Trevin Knell and Mawot Mag, who contributed 15 and 13 points, respectively. Kansas struggled throughout the game, trailing by as much as 38 points and committing 15 turnovers, while BYU demonstrated efficient shooting with 14 3-pointers. This loss signifies Kansas' second consecutive defeat and raises concerns about their performance as they prepare for upcoming games against Oklahoma State and other ranked teams. Coach Bill Self expressed disappointment, stating the team's lack of resistance was embarrassing. With their current record at 17-9, Kansas risks falling out of the national rankings for the first time since 2021.
